Spirituality & Charism

Our spirituality is centered in Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and our charism focuses on Blessed Mary Catherine Kasper, our foundress.

In St. Luke’s Gospel account of the Annunciation and the Visitation, we are inspired by Mary, the first Handmaid of the Lord. Mary was completely open to the invitation of God and wanted only to fulfill His will. Like her, we say “yes” with the gift of our lives.

Blessed Mary Catherine Kasper inspires us to be poor in the sense of our own nothingness and complete dependence on God’s providence. Her life challenges us to listen attentively to the spirit, to serve joyfully and to live simply.
